__________by Njeri Faith

Would my name be on your lips
as you dipped your finger
in honey and cried in ecstasy?

Would I be holding your hand
as we reached Plateau
flying high, higher still,
reaching new levels
of love and wonderment?

Would I be amazed by your touch
if I was your girlfriend?
Flying, loving you in flight--
would you flee in fright
at your other self? or stay
and hold me tight?

Would you be as light as
a feather, a multi colored Fall leaf or a snowflake,
drifting in lakes and undulating
waves with a touch, in your mind?

Would my name be on your lips
or would your name be on mine?
